Getting to Know Us

I have learned a lot this summer. About my son, about myself, about my husband, and about our family. I will cherish this summer for the rest of my life. A time of new beginnings, discovery, and great love. Blossoming and undying love. Casey and I are changed. Forever changed for the better. Cash has seamlessly brought us closer together and made us a family. We are parents to the most beautiful little boy and he has captured our hearts. Every day I look at him and thank my Heavenly Father for blessing us with this most cherished gift. I would do anything for him. You don't understand that kind of love until you have a child. I get that now. Here is a little about us...

Cash's favorite sleeping position and favorite silky (blankie)

My favorite thing to wake up to in the middle of the night.

I have totally become one of those Mom's who makes her kids wear ridiculous things and loves it! How cute is this hat? Casey hates it.

Casey has far surpassed my ideals for the father of my children. I am so blessed to have them both in my life. And so grateful that they have each other.

I could spend all day every day doing this. Holding my precious baby as he sleeps. The most at peace and content that I have ever felt. The only icing on the cake would be Casey laying right there with us.

We are the Patterson's. We accomplished a lot of things before we became a family. But he is hands down the best thing we have ever done.

That's awesome Lex. The best part is it just gets better and better (in my opinion). :)_

You guys did really good, Cash is amazing. I love the pic of Cash laying on you, that was my favorite thing too. You look beautiful. We love the Patterson's.

I can't wait to see him-maybe at the next reunion. Cherish the time that they sleep laying on your chest...it only lasts a little time! He is a beautiful baby boy.

Bravo Lex! I love this post and I love you and your precious family. I can't wait to get our little family started... I'm so proud of you and Casey. Cash is too cute for words and I can't wait to meet him.

XOXO
